Overview

Not-for-profit organisations are encouraged to apply for new $5,000 Aboriginal community innovation grants to fund innovative health programs for Aboriginal Western Australians. WA Health believes improving the health of Aboriginal people across the state requires collaboration across the health and non-health sectors and is everyone's business. The Aboriginal Health Division works in partnership with Aboriginal communities and health service providers to ensure Aboriginal people receive culturally appropriate health care.

Several grants are available to organisations that strive to make a difference to the lives of Aboriginal people through the implementation of creative projects and activities.

Eligible organisations may apply for grants for projects, activities, programs and events that demonstrate innovative and creative:

• activities for Aboriginal men
• activities for Aboriginal 'Mums and Bubs'
• traditional Aboriginal healing practices
• NAIDOC Week activities.
